About vehicle parts; safety airbags with inflater system; parts thereof

hs code 870895 covers a critical component of the automotive industry - vehicle safety airbags and their associated parts. These airbag systems play a vital role in protecting drivers and passengers in the event of a collision, making them an essential safety feature in modern vehicles. The production and trade of these components are significant contributors to the global automotive supply chain and the broader economy.

Production process

The manufacture of vehicle safety airbags and their parts involves a complex process. It typically begins with the production of the airbag module, which includes the inflator, the folded airbag, and the housing. The inflator is responsible for rapidly filling the airbag with gas upon impact, while the folded airbag is designed to unfurl and cushion the occupant. These components are then assembled into the airbag module, which is integrated into the vehicle's safety systems.

Production inputs

The production of vehicle safety airbags and their parts requires a range of specialized inputs, including high-strength fabrics, propellants, and advanced electronic sensors. Manufacturers also rely on specialized machinery and equipment to ensure the precise assembly and testing of these safety-critical components. Additionally, the industry utilizes a skilled workforce with expertise in areas such as materials science, engineering, and quality control.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 870895 is the vehicle safety airbag and its associated parts, which are then incorporated into the production of 870321 Motor vehicles for the transport of persons and 870322 Motor vehicles for the transport of goods. These airbag systems are essential for ensuring the safety and protection of drivers and passengers, making them a crucial component in the broader automotive industry.
